Dear Michael, I learned yesterday that you passed away.

That affects me, makes me sad, it hurts. Not just because you’re the first friend who’s gone now, but mainly because you were such a good person and still way too young. You enriched the lives of everyone who knew you. Thanks for the great times. I will never forget them and especially you’ll be forever in my heart.
I regret that we have had far too little contact in recent years.

In the digital world you called yourself “Srybil”, I can only say as an farewell: Sorry, but you were never lame!

I wish the people who were closest to you a lot of strength.
